| Amazing as usual. |

mugimugi said: Yeah I did and I heard that most translators abandoned the series either because it was too difficult to tranlates and consumed too much time or it was because the anime aired. It's too bad, even though the english version isn't quite the same as the original, it'd be still more fun if more people had access to Nisio's novels. I thought as much. Well, I do plan on learning the language, I just don't have the time right now. As soon as I'm done with college will put my mind into it. The noves are just be an extra incentive. |
| 5/5 good ep |
| great episode got to see a lot of what i wanted. very happy :) nya! |
| Like robots? Then watch getter robot :D |
| I think this episode was very boring :/ |
| Another great episode, and Black Hanekawa always enticing, for me is the best character in the series <3 The ending left a big hype, it's time for the show's Araragi appear not turn into a yuri gag |

| too many awesome moments in this episode. - Hitagi's (forced) smile~~ <3 <3 My mind went blank for a moment here, the damage it caused to me was quite severe. - conversation between Suruga and Tsubasa (what a considerate friend XD) - Fire Sisters appeared! - Hitagi cleverly manipulated Karen to help Tsubasa. Too hilarious - Bath scene. Karen~ *___* - Shinobu and Black Hanekawa finally met again - Roy Mustang and Elric brothers? nice! |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| Enjoyable as always. The bath scene was perfect. Can't wait for the next episode. |

mugimugi said: I think in a very broad sense Hitagi could be considered as tsundere, in the sense that her attitude towards Koyomi started with heavily tsun (while being his girlfriend) in Bake and evolved into a lot more dere in the 2nd season. This tsun to dere shift over time is a classic pattern of tsundere, but of course Hitagi's behavior is mixed with a lot of sarcasm and barbed remarks hence the proportion of tsun/dere may not be immediately noticeable.Hitagi isn't actually tsundere. |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Faiyaa Sistas ! Tsukihi-chan you're so adorable <3 |
 |
| This show has really gone to shit. Take away Araragi and it goes from great to fucking awful. |
JacobGrey93 said: she's still one of the best written characters in anime. Why? I nwver got why people liked her, why is this the case? |

| Her scenes with Araragi are the most interesting scenes; Senjougahara blends a load of different comedic styles and personae, I think people appreciate her archetype as the cool beauty as well. She's also popular because of how much she emulates anime archetypes but it isn't boring because it always feels as if she's aware that she's doing it and that it's just for the sake of irony on her part. Also, she's really attractive and her voice actor is pretty fantastic. |
| Hachikuji: Araragi-san, you don't look even the least bit apologetic. You should at least say something after touching a girl's delicate chest! Araragi: *Clueless look* Thanks? Bakemonogatari, Episode 5. |
| ahh Finally the cutest vampire made its appearance :3 and where the hell is Araragi? 3 episodes but no Koyomi :I does this bugs anyone else. But well I sense something interesting is coming our way |
 |
| Am I the only one who's not botheted that Arararagi hasn't shown up yet? I do like his characters, but his absence has been actually very interesting so far, not to mention will see what he's up to soon enough.

Plus as I mentioned before, the Neko:Shiro was really really well received due to Hanekawa beeing the narrator. But well people are just.. NC ^^ Well, I particularly don't like Hanekawa very much (Black Hanekawa is different) and I can't deny I felt a little disapointed when I noticed she would be the one narrating. After some time when I understood what was going on, (that he wouldn't show up), I was hooked. On a long series of novels the autor has to try different things otherwise it will just be more of the same, even if the story is good. The chapter skiping because of Black Hanekawa was really clever, at first I didn't realize, I thought they were just beeing skiped in the adaptation. It does make more sense on a book though. |
Takuan_Soho said: BillyMK said: Well, I particularly don't like Hanekawa very much (Black Hanekawa is different) This statement is puzzling, Black Hanekawa without normal Hanekawa to serve as a juxtaposition would not be as attractive. Hanekawa's repressed character is what makes it so much fun to watch Black Hanekawa; if Hanekawa were any different, Black Hanekawa would be correspondingly reduced. That said, I love Hanekawa as a character, if she was ever to integrate her various personalities together (the progression of the series seem to be moving in that direction) she would be totally awesome; this is why of all the other girls out there, the one Senjougahara is most afraid of is Hanekawa. I think her conversations with Araragi were not very interesting. Among the hole cast of characters she is the one that's most stricly connected to reality, she doesn't play around with her personality, she's just normal. I think it's boring. But that doens't mean I think her character is bad or anything, in fact I think she's necessary to balance out the story. Yes Black Hanekawa wouldn't be so cool if there was no contrast, but It doesn't change my point of view when I think of her normal self as boring. The stories involving her aren't bad either, I just don't like her. |
| Woah!!! Shit just got crazy. Great episode as always. I laughed my ass off when Hanekawa pointed out that Senjougahara's personality was slipping back into crazy mode, so then Senjougahara stopped it by forcing a smile on her face with her fingers. Classic. |
 |
| I wonder why Koyomi meet up with Kanbaru & what they meant by her "linage"? Hanekawa stay over at the Araragi household after Senjougahara convinces/tricks Karen into letting her stay. Black Hanekawa has been appearing more frequently making her wonder what's causing Hanekawa's stress cause it wasn't her house getting burned down. Shinobu finally appears,yay!!!She gets some useful information from Black Hanekawa & in exchange informs her that only her & Hanekawa can see the tiger oddity. Black Hanekawa carries Shinobu to Eikou Cram School to make the trip short for her so she can get to Koyomi in time.(Seems like they're on friendlier terms now.) Unfortunately Eikou Cram School was burned down!!!Which I honestly found quite upsetting because that was a very important place in the Monogatari universe.Hitagi was saved here,Koyomi fought Kanbaru/Yozuru/Black Hanekawa there,and many other important scenes happened there so it hit me pretty hard ;.;. |
| Yay, Karen and Tsukihi are back with speaking lines of their own. Of course Shinobu needs special mention as well. Now that I've actually seen both Hitagi and Karen together in one shot I must agree with Koyomi calling her the "bigger" sister. She's really tall! The conversations are definitely much more interesting now that people who were unlikely to interact at first are now the ones talking to each other. Before, Koyomi was at the center of every single conversation. My guess about the seemingly sudden fires is that the tiger is tracking down Tsubasa, and burning down the places where she stays in. If this is correct, it could be that Hitagi's run-down home is next, or perhaps the Araragi house now that she's no longer there. If Koyomi's current "case" is related to the tiger apparition, then there won't be any next places to burn most likely. Kinda sad to see that special place all of them have memories of is now nothing but ashes. Then again, the abandoned cram school was already a condemned building in the first place... I'm starting to miss Hiroshi Kamiya's narrating voice a bit. Looks like we won't have to wait long to see Koyomi again, since Shinobu is already out to find him and save his ass again, plus there is Black Hanekawa as temporary transportation. She doesn't come out to help him unless he is in serious hot water after all... |
| Shnobu once again steals the spotlight <3 Still don't like Tsubasa, her personality just make her so bland, compared to all the other more colourful characters |
| Hanekawa seems like a stray cat now moving from one home to another after being picked up with Senjougahara and now at Araragi's home So many characters showed up again in the episode Looks like someone/thing enjoy to burn down the town |
| Such another great episode the discussion between Shinobu and Black-Hanekawa was pretty good and that ending can't wait for the next one. |

Cabron said: iLostReason said: I second that.Shinobu and Kanbaru! awesome episode, but really, the whole place got burned? i really liked that building for some reason xd. Same, I actually felt a little upset that the building won't be used for more confrontations (or maybe it will somehow). |
 |
| Oh yeah Shinobu finally makes her appearance this season. And I am liking Kanbaru's new look. Lol at Senjougahara forcing herself to smile, that was so cute. And nice to see her completely manipulate Karen like that haha. |

| Yay! Kanbaru! She's the best! :D And aw man. I loved the cram school. ='( |

The conversations are definitely much more interesting now that people who were unlikely to interact at first are now the ones talking to each other. Before, Koyomi was at the center of every single conversation. Just thought I'd say, I think you meant "both Tsukihi and Karen together ... calling her the "bigger" sister". (Unless I misunderstood what you're referring to) But if that is what you mean, then he calls Karen the bigger sister because she actually is older by one year. I know I'm nitpicking but I felt the need to point that out. Though as I often do, I'm probably just stupid and reading you wrong. >> |
| I finally got used to Hanekawa being the MC for now, but I'm super glad that Kanbaru showed up, although it was only for a short while, and the Fire Sisters showed up as well (With another bath scene with Hanekawa =3). It also appears that Black Hanekawa has returned and Shinobu as well, and the cram school has been burned down, man now this is getting interesting :) |
 |
| they teased me thinking the Fire Sisters, Senjogahara, and Hanekawa would all be together in one scene...aye like the 3way bathtime tho Senjogahara's way of words...always gets what she wants Shinobu and Neko Hanekawa's conversation was fun |
| Its like watching the main plot from the sidelines. You know something big is happening with Araragi but you just don't know what! |
| Awesome, so many characters made a comeback! ^.^ Shinobuuu~! <3 |
 |
| 4/5 Ah! I was expecting a more unsettling by Hitagi, in giving a roof to Hanekawa. Plot that goes on forever thanks to the dialogues, good anyway. Drawings and animations, however, are not of the same level, the more points you note in the mediocre quality profuse. What is also noticeable that in the animation, so it is an eyesore from my point of view. Analyzing a cool head the narrative review sistrers Fire is nothing new, I thought that the game would be played only as "Araragi girls"! XD The cliffhanger rekindled my expectations of having a splatter of quality! ASD |

Though by logic Karen is older than Tsukihi, being called 'Dekkai hou no Imouto' or literally the big sister, Araragi refers Karen as the biggest and taller little sister because she is actually taller than him. Btw, Karen is the second child in the family whilst Araragi is the eldest of them three. |
| Oh Hitagi Senjougahara the manipulatitor person xD So..... The Tiger burn every places that Hanekawa used for sleep?? Aw, poor abandoned cram building :( Araragi.. Please make an appearance I know there's many people like when you're not there, but it's not Monogatari without Araragi Koyomi It's like Harry Potter without Harry :) |
"Signature removed"   |
| I'm quite impressed by the way the series can be so interesting even though it's almost only dialogue. And yay Shinobu! But damn that ending was quite interesting! |

symbv said: And look at the Full Metal Alchemist references in this episode LOL Really? I didn't notice any... (Unless you count her house burning down as a reference) |
| Hanekawa wore Araragi's pajamas.... you know what they say.. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/1487362_607754162623439_1211641825_n.jpg.... yeeeeeeeeah!! |
 |
| More or less a boring episode, except for the end, I found nothing interesting or noteworthy. Hoping Araragi comes back soon, I think 3 eps of Hitagi and Tsubasa conversations is 3 episodes too many :P |
 "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment" |
| I just noticed that people in Monogatari don't have nipples, too bad. |
 |
| I feel like kiyomi has a special effect on his love interests. You can see that tsubasa was the first to cut her hair to appeal more to him and sanjo. would counter by doing the same. Now seeing kanbaru with longer hair each season it seems like this is a sign of her femininity increasing as it is clear she has feelings for kiyomi as well. |
| shinobuuuuu is back so stoked |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Nooooo, not the old wrecked school :( Two buildings that are somehow related to Hanekawa have burned down. The easiest guess to make is that it's the tiger fault. Also, since Araragi asked Kanbaru to come to the school, maybe he know about the tiger existence. The fire sisters are back, and with new haircut x) Senjougahara manipulated Karen so easily xD Dat bath scene... hhnnnnnng It was so hilarious when Senjougahara breaked out of her new character and forced that smile xD Also, what Senjougahara said at the beginning was again spot on. Amost forgot, Kanbaru is such a cutie with that new design :3 |

| Kanbaru Suruga looks beautiful with that hair!! Tsukihi and karen got so beautiful !! tsukihi has a high hair growth!! (Its been awhile ... even if it was just many days ago...) Hitagi just have to provoke karen to have tsubasa a better house to stay.. (no offense !!) I can see that tsukihi have grown more modest enough on her current age.. Black hanekawa and shinobu were like buddies now!! they both look kawaii!! That Ending!!! Cram School was burned down!! Good Episode as always!!! |
